O Katis
About
O Katis, on Crete, is a restaurant at Βλυχάδα Μπαλί, Ρέθυμνο 740 57, Greece, on the north coast between Rethymno and Heraklion.
First-time visitors to O Katis should expect a setting in the Rethymno regional unit, away from the larger resort strips, with the menu built around the dishes found across Crete. Guests have given O Katis 4.4 out of 5 from 63 reviews, a steady score over a moderate number of visits. Reaching it from Rethymno, Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala or Elafonisi is done by road along the island's north and south coasts, with the north coast route the most direct for most of those places.
The restaurant's position in the Rethymno regional unit places it on the central north coast, between the two largest cities on Crete. Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.
Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus across Crete, so first-time diners will recognise much of what is served. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, which can shape when the island is busiest. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the quieter months change what is open along the coast.
